I am a friend of Mrs. Fowler's daughter, Idelle. Idelle shared my apartment when she student taught at Clifton Springs during her college days. We have remained very good friends. I became acquainted with Idelle's parents as a result, and Mrs. Fowler was always so kind and welcoming to me. Because I was a Home Ec. teacher, I had much in common with her, especially her sewing, quilt making and other hand work. I enjoyed talking with her especially about quilting. She did such beautiful work.
She loved her family and accepted her children's friends with open arms. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She has left some beautiful memories for all of us, and she will not be forgotten.
With Love, Lee and Dave Hawkins

We will all miss Grandma very much. I remember as children Grandma doing our nails and braiding our hair at all the campsites we visited with the family and the adorable dolls she used to make. Love you Grandma.

To Marjorie's Family -
I was saddened to learn of Marjorie's death. I liked her very much and wanted you to know Hairy (aka Harry) is doing well. He visited Marjorie twice at Seneca View, much to her enjoyment.

I am thankful that I got to know her through my sister who was her sons first wife. With that she and Heman had 2 wonderful girls along with Idelles 2 children. We all had a wonderful time visiting with Marjorie and Ashby when her grandchildren were very young we had a wonderful time with them. She will be missed very much. Im sure Kelly, Heather, Elaine and Lori will miss her as well. May she rest in Peace.
